the president, of course, on martha's vineyard, has not responded to that. it will be interesting to see how he squares that response from the white house a week prior to the nsa revelations. >> he's going to update those comments because "the washington post," if you read it carefully, informed dianne feinstein that the rules were not going to follow and you've been saying up until now, this is going to be an issue that we keep talking about. i said still marching for the marches going on this week but the march is formally called the march for jobs and freedom. i think you should hear more talk about that, the problem with the racial justice in the country but with jobs in the country. black unemployment is still double what white unemployment is. the wealth gap continues to grow and i think you'll hear more from the president and also the people at the marches talking about it as well as voting rights and traditional civil rights issues. >> 1953 we saw a quarter of a million people down there in d.c. is there any idea how large the crowd is going to be th

we're getting a rare glimpse of the president golfing today during his vacation on martha's vineyard. he was playing with three advisers. the president seemed to miss most of his early putts, as captured here. his first putt was a miss, which the president reacted to by leaning back and kicking his knee up as if trying to coax the ball into breaking right. it did not work. >>> and a new study released by george mason university finds democrats are now the butt of most of the jokes on late-night television. that marks a sea of change from 2012, when republican mitt romney led the republicans to that title. since january, president obama has been the target of 288 monologue jokes, the next most joked-about individual, here he is, anthony weiner, new york city mayoral candidate at 120. here's a few from just this week. >> the movie's called too much johnson. when he heard that, anthony weiner said, great, now what am i going to call my memoirs. i already texted it to ten publishers. >> the mars rover curiosity is celebrating the first anniversary on mars. it's sent back 70,000 photos. i

we go live to martha's vineyard where president obama continues his vacation. any sign from the administration of what they will or even perhaps what they will not do next? >> well, craig, good afternoon. the administration at this point is not signaling any major shift in policy when it comes to egypt. we know that president obama has been briefed daily by his national security adviser susan rice, who is vacationing here on martha's vineyard with him. and of course this past week president obama announced that he would be canceling joint military operations between the u.s. and egypt that were scheduled to take place next month. this was a strong, symbolic rebuke to military for their inability to really get this situation under control in egypt and to get the unrest under control in egypt. but what the administration has not announced is that they will be withholding or withdrawing that $1.3 billion in military aid that they give to egypt every year, and that is really the united states' largest point of leverage at this point in time. it is a complicated sit
